Real-World Exposure
How broadly this vulnerability is actually deployed: weekly install volume shows current usage, and reverse-dependency count shows how many other packages break if it stays unpatched.
multi-ininpmDescription
This affects the package multi-ini before 2.1.2. It is possible to pollute an object's prototype by specifying the constructor.proto object as part of an array. This is a bypass of CVE-2020-28448.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for multi-ini, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update multi-ini to 2.1.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-67mq-h2r9-rh2m is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
